Training and Technical Assistance

Resources available to you

We work to help more people hear about and gain access to the assistive technology (AT) they need to meet their goals. Part of this outreach is providing training and technical assistance at the individual and group level.

We are available to provide training to individuals and their families, educators, and medical and support staff. This includes everything from one-on-one sessions all the way up to conference presentations. We are equipped to cover any AT-related topic. We’ll work with you to understand your needs and tailor your training to focus on specific areas.

Past presentations have included:

  • AT for older people
  • smart phone accessibility features
  • AT for reading, writing and organization.

Accessibility training

A11y Idaho is a community of practice to support accessible content creation. This is achieved through free, weekly online training sessions. Participants can join sessions focused on specific accessibility topics, or attend their Open Hour sessions. During these sessions, attendees are encouraged to bring their accessibility questions for an open group discussion.
